A Wise MAN FROM the East.

The following communication APP
peared in the Elizabethton Mountain
eer of the 2Sth;
We are reliably informed that it is
well understood among those who
have the best opportunity to know
that the 8 c. will never be built by
way Of Bakersville through johnson
City.
1t is equally we'll understood that
that route is impracticable and never
was intended to be the final line OF
the road-but on the other hand, the
Company has always looked forward
to coming by way of Cranberry, N. c.,
and purchasing the E. I. & w. N. c.
Railroad, widen the gauge and follow
its line to Watauga Point and then
the Watauga to Kingsport.
This is the best and would be by fal
the cheapest route and no doubt will
be adopted out of necessity.

A Western Real Estate Boom.

From the Lincoln (Kan,) Republican.
Mary had little lot, and thought
she'd better sell she placed it on the
market, and the way that lot did
well, it sold four times within week,
and every time it went, the luckey
man who bought it cleared ninety
nine per cent. "What makes town
lots go flying SOP" the eager buyers
cry, "Oh Lincoln's on a boom, you
know" the agents do reply. And SO
the owners mark them up, yet buyers
do not squeal, but run impatiently a
bout for fear they'll lose a deal.
